Notable quotes

Alberto Yépez · Forgepoint Capital website / Banco Santander alliance announcement · 2024-11-12

We target companies with great teams building innovative solutions that are poised for high growth. While the Crowdstrike IPO certainly boosted attention on the market, over 90% of successful cybersecurity exits are through M&A. Strategic buyers and financial sponsors pay up for companies that can scale.

Alberto Yépez · TechCrunch – Talking cybersecurity, SaaS and early-stage valuations with ForgePoint Capital · 2020-02-19

Forgepoint entrepreneurs are collectively building a more secure digital future. Ours is a mission that matters, and we draw energy from inspiring teams building elegant products that solve previously intractable challenges.
